The Dancing Lily

The Dancing Lily is located at 547 Johnson Street in Victoria, B.C. A locally owned and operated Men's & Women's Fashion Boutique.

History: Dancing Lily was created by Pam Butterfield in 1994 when she opened in a small space at The Blue Cat Mall in Powell River, B.C. Dancing Lily was named after the inspiration of her daughter, Lili, who passionately grew up dancing combined with the english flower fairy series. At this point Pam only carried women's clothing and some jewelry. In October 1995 Dancing Lily moved into a larger

space in Powell River. At the new store Dancing Lily began to sell women's clothing, unique furniture, jewelry, gifts/accessories, Persian rugs, home decor, and even seasonal prom dresses. The store closed in 2001 after the family's home burnt down and they decided to relocate to Victoria, B.C. Now in 2016 Pam's daughter, Lili Butterfield, has decided to reopen as The Dancing Lily on Lower Johnson. After 13 years in the retail & restaurant industry Lili has gained the experience and drive to follow her dream to continue her mom's legacy but in her own vision. The new boutique will sell men's & women's clothing, accessories, gifts, and more. The Butterfield family is excited to bring The Dancing Lily back to life.

To The Loving Community of The Dancing Lily,

As I sit here in the shop looking around at the wonderful business I built, I prepare myself to bring you BIG news. After months of conversations with my family I have decided to close this beautiful chapter of my life, The Dancing Lily.

This decision is not an easy one, but I do take great pride in everything I have done and with that I am at peace and happy with my decision.

Those close to me know that at the end of 2024 I faced a health scare that luckily was only a scare but one of those big ones that make you look at everything under a microscope.

I will close this chapter with love, kindness and happiness. Our store motto still stands true today as it did the first day we opened in June 2016.

Thank you to my DL customers, my DL staff past & present and my incredible community. Thank you to our amazing brands, reps and distributors! Thank you DVBA, Heritage Properties, Devon Properties and everyone who supported a young, native woman entrepreneur.

is not closing so I will still be doing business here!! You are not getting rid of me! I love this too much!

My life moving forward will be focused on men’s fashions at LADS Clothing (my true passion in fashion), my growing acting career and working within the local improv/comedy community.

We will be closing on August 31st 2025. Please use any Gift Certificates or store credits by then.

All Sales will be Final Sale, and we will not be doing any refunds, exchanges, store credits or holds moving forward. Everything Must Go.

I will be working almost every day during the closing so please come see me!

Our big sale will be starting August 1st at 25% the entire store ( price adjusted items not included).

See you tomorrow at 10:00am!

WITH LOVE,

Lili Butterfield
The Original Dancing Lili
